Fenton Farm originally formed part of the historic Lanhydrock Estate and is being offered on the open market for the first time in generations, with Lanhydrock House, gardens and parkland a short distance away. Fenton offers privacy, yet is easily accessible to local amenities and the main road network.

Fenton Farmhouse is a characterful, traditional five bedroom dwelling set slightly away from the farm buildings, enjoying its main aspect over farmland, with scope for improvement and extension (subject to planning).There is a range of stone and slate traditional farm buildings set around a courtyard offering significant scope for redevelopment (subject planning).

The land comprises principally productive pasture land, much of which is suitable for arable purposes if so desired complemented by some areas of attractive amenity, woodland, rough grazing and orchard.
